Real Costa Rica Wedding ~ Kelly & Andrew
Location: Manuel Antonio
Venue: Costa Verde
Photographer: Sara Monika
Kelly and Andrew’s Real Costa Rica Wedding in Manuel Antonio was all about fun. If you saw the title in Google, “Pinatas and Dancing with a View”, and if it sounds fun, it really was!
They started their festivities on the beach with a custom setup by Los Primos Designs. Imagine a private beach, not easily accessed, with beautiful lighting, an empanada bar, and lots of beverages flowing, and don’t forget the bonfire. This to me was embracing what Costa Rica does so well…its the nights on the beach with your loved ones, sunset followed by some drinks (water or other), a bonfire and some good celebrating. And in this case, it was celebrating Kelly and Andrew’s nuptials the following day!
The ceremony was on a beautiful garden knoll at Costa Verde. It was the perfect spot for a small intimate wedding. Followed by their reception in, wait for it….an. airplane, El Avion, Costa Verde. Both locations with an amazing view, it was fantastic!
The flowers and decor was so fun ! We went full retro modern! Kelly and I had such a great time shopping for vases and talking table scape. We played with ideas for months, and finally came up with what you see in the pictures below. I am beyond thrilled, how the colors and the feel came together, texture, interest, fun!
I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Kelly and Andrew on their real Costa Rica wedding. Their energy was contagious. Hopping on the phone with them to review fun details and less fun details regarding the wedding, was always calls for laughs. It always felt like talking to friends! So thank you for that, Kelly and Andrew! I wish you all the best! Huge hugs from Costa Rica!
